BBQ Night
Our BBQ night fundraiser was another big sucess. We made just over $540.00. The food was great. (Thanks Gene for cooking for us) Everything was so great that we had to close down early because we had ran out of food. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported FOLL. Also we wanted to say Thank You to everyone who made a dessert or came to work the BBQ. We could not do our fundraisers with out you!!

CD and DVD Cleaning and Repairs
We are happy to announce a new benefit to becoming a member of the Friends of the Lincoln Library! We will begin offering the Digital Media Repair Program to members of FOLL, in addition to the affiliate branches of the WCLS.
If you've got discs that are smudged, have fingerprints, scratches, or skip when you play them, then let us fix them for you! Our Machine uses a state-of-the-art, non-abrasive method to remove the problems listed above, and return your discs to optimal quality.
We can clean and repair CD's, DVD's, HD DVD's, Blu Ray DVD's, Video Game Discs (including 3" Game Cube games), and computer software and data discs.
The cost is $2 per disc (compared to $2.50 and $3 at other places), and we will offer a Frequent Cleaner Program, in which we will clean every 11th disc for free!
More information and complete terms and conditions are available at the library.

August Recipe of the Month
If you missed the meeting last night, you missed a great dessert! Stephanie made a Frozen Creamsicle Cake and it was like eating a creamsicle pop with a fork. Here's the recipe:
16 low-fat vanilla wafers, finely ground in a food processor
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 quart orange sorbet, slightly softened
1 quart vanilla ice cream
Line a 3.5 by 7.5 inch loaf pan with a double layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper, allowing a few inches of overhang along the sides. Stir together cookie crumbs, zest, butter, and corn syrup in a small bowl, then press into bottom of loaf pan. Spread sorbet evenly over crumb crust and freeze 30 minutes to harden. While sorbet is freezing, slightly soften ice cream. Spread evenly over sorbet and freeze, covered with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 2 hours. Using plastic wrap as an aid, lift frozen cake out of pan, then peel off plastic. Let stand 5 minutes to soften, cut and serve.

Last night, we finalized plans for our first ever FOLL Summer BBQ Cookout. I don't know about anyone else, but I am starting to get really hungry thinking about it! In addition to the brisket we will be smoking, we will also be serving smoked sausage and hot dogs to make sure we have something for everyone. The desserts will all be home-made by our members and are sure to be delicious. You can dine in, or take out; it'll be a great meal either way! So make plans to come out and support the library, and feed your family at the same time.
